You are not the only one. I own an agency who represents photographers, stylists and hair/make-up artists. Syntax Editions approached our agency. They wanted to use two photographers for their magazine. Expenses were going to be paid. The whole experience with Syntax Editions was a true nightmare.

His managing director Robert Threes doesn't excist. This is CS Leigh himself. He just wants to come across professional. At first hand he comes across very polite and kind. But he is a true wolf in sheep clothing. He doesn't produce anything himself. He wants you to do it and he asks very kindly to pre pay everything.

CS Leigh makes promise after promise and he breaks every single one of them.

In the end we never got paid anything. He got his editorials and we never saw a copy. You can not buy the magazine online. A friend of mine in London tried to buy it but Selfridges is not selling it anymore because they say it doesn't sell. Same for the Serpetine Gallery. They only sell the left overs of the first copy.

So if CS Leigh every approaches you, IGNORE & AVOID that man as much as you can!
